Cosmetic plastic surgery has quickly become a mainstream practice. From nose reshaping to bust enhancement procedures, there is an array of procedures available for cosmetic surgery Ottawa patients to consider.

Liposuction is a noninvasive procedure that utilizes a thin tube to extract fat deposits from your body. This form of body contouring has become an increasingly popular option for those struggling with their weight via diet and exercise alone.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty (more commonly known as a nose job) is a surgical process to alter the shape of the nose, typically performed under local or general anesthesia at either a surgeon's office, hospital or outpatient surgery center.

Doctors perform surgery to adjust the size and shape of a nose by extracting or adding tissues as necessary to alter its size and shape; correct nasal asymmetry or use cartilage from elsewhere in the body such as ears or ribs for this process.

Rhinoplasty surgery can treat birth defects, injuries or breathing issues such as deviated septum. Prior to having this procedure performed, inform your surgeon of any previous surgeries or allergies related to medications and blood-clotting agents; additionally an imaging test may also help in diagnosis and planning; procedures typically last between one and three hours with a plastic splint being placed over your nose to help minimize swelling until it heals fully.

Breast Augmentation

Women and men seeking cosmetic or reconstructive breast augmentation often opt for breast augmentation for both cosmetic reasons or as reconstructive surgery following mastectomy. This popular procedure increases breast size with either silicone or saline implants that may be placed either behind glandular tissue in front of muscles (subglandular placement) or behind both tissue and muscle (subpectoral/dual plane breast placement).

Undergoing outpatient surgery to place implants is a simple procedure; your surgeon will create pockets and position your implants according to your goals and needs. Saline implants require being filled with sterile saline solution while silicone ones come pre-filled by manufacturers. Any incisions created during this process will then be closed with layers of sutures in the breast tissue or skin adhesive/tape closure techniques; most women can return to work and low-impact physical activities within days or a few weeks, although high impact activities may need more recovery time before returning for high impact activities like running marathons/marathons/etc.

Nose Job

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic or functional surgery designed to alter the size or shape of your nose. You might seek it done for aesthetic reasons or in response to an injury, breathing problem or birth defect.

Rhinoplasty surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia at a clinic, hospital or outpatient surgery center. Your surgeon will make an incision either between your nostrils or across your columella (the narrow strip of tissue between them), then extract cartilage and bone to reshape your nose.

An nasal dorsum hump can be reduced by shortening the lengths of lateral and medial crura or by realigning dorsal angles with other structures, or placing columellar struts (from septal cartilage or, less frequently, rib cartilage). You may be provided with techniques to increase tip projection; stitches close incisions while a splint supports your new shape as it heals.

Eyelid Surgery

Thin skin around the eyes makes them vulnerable to signs of early aging, which blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery can help alleviate by removing excess skin and fat to create a more youthful-looking facial structure.

A plastic surgeon creates a cut in either the natural eyelid crease or inside of the lower lid to access extra skin and fat that needs to be addressed, then uses sutures that blend seamlessly into their natural positions or dissolve on their own. Incisions may then be closed with sutures that fade into their surroundings over time or self-dissolve over time.

Your plastic surgeon will use one or more methods of eyelid surgery that typically take between 1-3 hours to perform. Individuals typically return to normal activities within one to seven days, though bruising and swelling will persist for several days postoperatively; during this time patients should use eye drops and keep them elevated during this period. Sometimes eyelid surgery is combined with other facial rejuvenation surgeries such as brow lift or facelift procedures for maximum effects - this approach is often employed to address sagging skin or deep frown lines above the eyes.
